he simply ordered sheridan to take position on the army's left. there was a remarkable lack of urgency. speculation was that wilson's men had turned south and headed for a union enclave. the rest of the old men and young boys remained on the south bank of the river. small volunteer cavalry units were put on the flanks to notify him of any attempt by the yankees to cross enforce up or downstream. another division led the cavalry south. the brigade served as the rear guard. the tracks ran to south from a depot called roanoke a depot called roanoke station right here. the tracks were elevated as they traversed the ground between the depot and the bridge. there was a large, grassy field with growth almost shoulder high. the ground was separated by drainage ditches. if you go to this wonderful battlefield park, has anyone been hearing to the state park? three or four people. put this on your list. the battlefield looks just like it did in 1864. wilson opens the action with a artillery bombardment. this is now part of the park and periodically open to t

sheridan commanding the cavalry turned that on his head. if you recall, i guess it would 7, maybe the morning of may the eighth, when sheridan and mead have that famous discussion in which mead wants sheridan to act like a reconnaissance cavalry officer to clear the way for union infantry and sheridan is outraged and wants to conduct an offensive and grant allows him some maybehere is wisdom in that mentality. reconnaissancef and information and knowledge, i am stunned, i am waiting for someone to explain to me and say turn on your lightbulb, how grant could have had any cognizance of the terrain and these two cores of infantry. hewas nine months and couldn't do it with an entire army. how could he possibly think he could do it with two cores and an unbroken front. that would demonstrate either incredible hubris, in which case he felt the confederates were totally emasculated and couldn't interfere, which would be hard to believe considering what they did in the first offense of, or he did not understand the ground . that is exactly her que

thousands of other people like them this is one of the biggest protests seen here my producer chris sheridan is to always been to many of these he's never seen one like this big they're holding signs calling for impeachment and there is a gauntlet people going to the trump rally and they passed by thousands of demonstrators jeering at them and sometimes you got a bit of scuffling far. east will in any case this is what's going to break donald trump they arrived here in just a matter of minutes so that is one of the biggest protests that we've seen outside trump's rallies was minneapolis perhaps the wrong choice for donald trump his 1st campaign rally since being involved in this impeachment investigation john minneapolis is something of a liberal bastion is it not. it is indeed minneapolis is a very liberal city but this state of minnesota is another matter donald trump lost this state by just 1.5 percentage points by about 45000 votes any very much wants to win it this time last time he hardly invested in the state and one paid staffer who actually left the state before election day now he'

they're from towns like casper, cheyenne, gurnscy, laramie, sheridan, brothers from sheridan, brothersrom casper. i met with all of them. some 370 guard members serving in afghanistan, the middle east, europe. it is our largest deployment in a decade. and i was honored to spend time with these dedicated service members from my home state. i visited the 115th field artillery brigade forward. it's in the united arab emirates. it's up in the desert across from the straits of hormuz. from there i traveled to kuwait to meet with the second battalion, the 2300, the field army artillery. my father-in-law, bob brown, was a member of this group during korea. he had also served in world war ii, as i know, mr. president, your father was part of the d-day invasion. i finished visiting the troops in kosovo. the first c company, first battalion, 297th infantry regiment in kosovo up near the serbian border. in service to our country, these soldiers now find themselves far from home, and we owe it to them to give them the raise that they have earned and that they deserve. you know, before i left, i ga

two days later some of sheridan's people blow up the cornerstone. tullahoma is over. the conquest of middle tennessee has been amazingly cheap. in 11 days from on-24 to july 4 only 570 federals were killed, wound ed wounded captured or missing. confederate personnel returns all-10 show a strength nearly 5,000 machine lower than june 20 fplt 20. half of that covered morgan's raiders that departed kentucky. the federals captured more than 1,600 prisoners and stuart's lost 181. claiborne will 121 at liberty for a total of 300 lost. the balance of the arm of tennessee's loss is about 600 more with battle casualty, sick or deserters. a lot of prisoners i quoted are tennesseens from this area realize being i don't want to leave home that far behind. to the is a sign of disintegration of the army of tennessee to a certain extent. when there is reported to the war department stanton congratulates rosecrans and fire shraourts when they get the news. then stanton says you and your normal army now have a chance to give finishing blows of the rebellingre rebellion rebellion. will

. >> [indiscernible] his brother is killed on the sheridan? >> yes. >> thank you. >> [indiscernible] introducep and yourself please. said heestion is stuart only had 1600. what was it? you said he wasn't correct. was he challenged by the media -- you said it was an excuse. it would be pretty easily provable. one would know the composition of his forces. that's my question, what is the source the he had more than 1600? ryan: it's a good point you mention the news reports. there are private soldiers who write letters back home to places like alabama, richmond, that they had 2500 soldiers. these soldiers with the column counting the regiments are explaining they have more. that's why i hesitate towards that. when you mention superiors, it drives me insane. joseph johnston and gt beauregard never write about dranesville. they never write a report, never a dispatch. who told jeb stuart to go to dranesville? that's something i have never been able to discover. i can't find anything. johnson doesn't mention it in his memoirs. beauregard doesn't menti
